What is another word for natural family planning?
Pronunciation: [nˈat͡ʃəɹə͡l fˈamɪli plˈanɪŋ] (IPA) 
Natural family planning or NFP is a method used to track and avoid pregnancy without using artificial contraceptive methods. There are several synonyms or alternative phrases for NFP, including fertility awareness-based methods, cycle tracking, ovulation monitoring, and periodic abstinence. Fertility awareness-based methods involve tracking menstrual cycles and ovulation patterns to determine when a woman is most fertile and least likely to conceive. Cycle tracking and ovulation monitoring involve recording basal body temperature and cervical mucus changes to identify fertile days. Periodic abstinence involves abstaining from sexual activity during the most fertile days of a woman's cycle. These methods provide women with natural, non-invasive birth control options without the need for hormonal interventions or devices.
